Conference Keynote Speaker – Craig Karges
Craig Karges is truly extraordinary! The “extraordinist” is an award winning entertainer, a nationally recognized speaker and an author. He has made over four thousand appearances on four continents and in all fifty states.
Craig Karges’ performance is an extraordinary blend of mystery, humor, psychology and intuition. Karges dazzles the mind as he challenges his audiences to question what is real and what is unreal, what is possible and what is impossible. Dennis Miller, comedian and talk show host, put it this way after seeing Karges perform, “this weirds me out.”
A table “walks” on stage and then flies into the air! Borrowed finger rings from audience members are linked together in a chain! Thoughts are read and predictions are made and verified. Craig Karges risks his fee in a special demonstration. If he fails, the money is returned to the sponsor!
Craig Karges dramatizes the unknown, the unexplained and the unbelievable. You don’t just watch this performance, you experience it, through total audience participation.
Audiences may be mystified when it comes to understanding how Craig Karges accomplishes what he does on stage but his popularity is no mystery at all.
From the entertainment oriented “Tonight Show with Jay Leno” to the news oriented “Larry King Live,” Craig Karges makes frequent guest appearances on national television shows. Karges has also starred in two one-hour television specials for Cox Broadcasting. He has also appeared on Lifetime Television, CNBC, United Paramount Network, CNN Headline News, Wisdom Television, SOAPnet, Fox News Channel, and E! Entertainment Television. The sheer number and diversity of Karges’ television appearances is indicative of his widespread popularity.
